Will have clocked 100 in 3yrs time.The people of older generation are really blessed by God.For indomie generation,at 17 she will look 37.At 37 she is already weak with wrinkles all over.At 50s,she looks like the biblical Abraham and if lucky lives up to 60 before untimely death which is pathetically celebrated as a fulfilled life.
May God of Moses heal our land.

This Is serious. Wife of Michael Okpara died yesterday now Ironsi's wife. Both are from UMUAHIA. May their souls RIP.


Serious?


Like old people died, you saying it's serious.

They have already accomplished something in life and they are old.

They should just rest in peace.

We have lost a Matriach of the Aguiyi-ironsi family and a political Heavyweight in the person of Lady Victoria.

Her service to our great Nation and her people should be something our young ladies should strive to emulate

@folabifreeman

How was she a political heavyweight? Or you don't know what that means?

What is serious? You want to start a conspiracy theory?
Before you do, go around all the mutuary and ask how many dead body is brought in on a daily basis and do same with hospital.

help us tell your husband say his abolishment of regionalism, Fulani people had exploited it to their advantage, even The Hausas and other tribes from North that welcome them when they were trekking like idiots had been at their receiving ends



I'm just glad I didn't exist as a Fulani, I can't withstand the trauma I will face when that Buhari leave in 2023

Do you know that before Ironsi’s unification decree Awolowo’s Western Region had its own busy UK embassy on Great Portland Street in London ?

It had to be Closed down after Ironsi took Power and the Western Regions UK embassy Building was eventually taken over by the Federal Government

Military rule is not civilian rule, the military always try to make the centre more powerful. But the question is if Ironsi was the one who abolished Regionalism. The answer is no. The 4 Regions that Ironi met on the ground were all existing when Ironsi left, and all 4 had resource control

Gowon came in and used Decree 14 to abolish all 4 Regions, created 12 states and took resource control away

why diverting from the talk?
did i said irons abolished region?
nigeria was practicing federal system before ironsi came and abolished the regional power and concetrated it only on centre to a unitary system...
you see nothing wrong in this?
